Portland Braid™

Made from a variety of polyester fibers, Portland Braid double-braid offers consistent performance at the best possible price.

Working load is based on static or moderately dynamic pulling/lifting operations.  Instantaneous changes in load, up or down, in excess of 10% of the lines rated working load constitutes hazardous shock load and would void normal working load recommendation.
